Just an FYI, this iris (Reticulated Iris (Iris 'Sea Green')) would not technically be classed as a SpecX iris. Rather, it should be classed as a Reticulata. The American Iris Society is the world registrar for rhizomatous irises, but not bulbous irises. The world registrar for bulbous irises is the Koninklijke Algemeene Verenniging Voor Bloembollencultuur (KAVB) in the Netherlands.

To make a long story short, when the Iris wiki was created they wanted to add entries for bulbous irises to it, but they don't fit into the AIS classification system so they shoehorned them into the SpecX group.
